Piles of August Patches – Daily Security Byte EP.124

August 13, 2015 By Corey Nachreiner

While there’s lots of interesting security stories I could share today, one of the most practical infosec actions you can take is to keep your software patched. Yesterday was Microsoft and Adobe patch day, and Mozilla also recently released a pretty important Firefox update. Watch the video to learn about these important fixes, and more importantly, follow the links below to learn how to apply the relevant updates.

UPDATE: On Thursday, Apple released a hand full of security advisories and updates as well, fixing flaws in iOS, OS X, and Safari. This wasn’t covered in the video, but check the links below for more info on those updates.
